London has introduced a fresh fleet of buses, drawing attention for their remarkable flooring that has sparked comments among residents claiming it surpasses the quality in their own homes.
These new Transport for London (TfL) buses are now in service on the 307 route, connecting Brimsdown Station in Enfield to Barnet Hospital, passing through Enfield Chase along the way.
A TikTok video, garnering nearly 40,000 likes and prompting a call for TfL to "explain yourself," showcases a man in awe on the upper deck of one of these double-deckers.
Londoners flooded the comments section, expressing admiration for the bus's aesthetics, particularly the vinyl wood effect flooring. One TikTok user humorously remarked, "Better flooring than my own house; rent's getting high, might move in."
Additional comments touched on the buses' previous service duration and highlighted upgraded buses in South London with leather seats.
Some viewers identified similar layouts on different bus routes, while others predicted wear and tear, stating, "I give it a week. The floors are gonna be removed, and everything is gonna be trashed."
A keen observer quickly placed the scene in Enfield Town without explicitly stating it. These buses are part of a broader initiative featuring over 1,000 new zero-emissions buses operating on various routes across London, constructed by different manufacturers.
